It involves MIL & Chicken Pox!

[skintagain]

DD got chicken pox on Friday. My SIL (who has had it - 23 yo) was due to babysit Saturday night. MIL said she shouldn't come as DD could give it to SIL who could then pass it on to MIL who 'has a bit of a cold', and doesn't want it as she's going away next week (oh and she also had chicken pox as a child).

She's an Ex nurse and her knowledge on this subject seems based on heresay and conjecture.

Also I'm disappointed that SIL couldn't say 'Mum I'm 23 and I'm not going to catch it so I'm going to babysit for my DN'

But obvioulsy I'm disappointmed that I missed a rare night out. I've been stewing about this for long enough.

MN jury who's being unreasonable??

You can't catch shingles. Shingles develops from the chicken pox virus that remains in your body. You can only get shingles if you have had chicken pox as far as I'm aware.

So in conclusion, we're all agreed that my MIL isstupid was being unreasonable, my SIL was being a bit wet, but no-one was goint to catch anything from my DD.
